This Traditional British Cozy Mystery
Gets a Regency Twist
Drew and Madeline Farthering celebrate their six-month anniversary by attending a fancy Regency era costume party. Drew is glad to see Talbot Cummins, an Oxford classmate, and his fiancée, Alice Henley, though many present seem worried about the couple. Everyone’s concerns are realized when, at the concluding grand ball, Alice dies of an overdose of cocaine. Tal refuses to believe she took the stuff intentionally, and Drew is determined to find out if her death was an accident or murder.
Drew is shocked and disillusioned when the police arrest Tal’s father and reveal that the man has been smuggling drugs into the country for the past twenty years. Reeling from the death of his fiancée and the revelation about his father, Tal begs Drew to find out what’s going on. Drew, now questioning his own ability to see people as they really are, does so reluctantly, not ready for the secrets he’s about to uncover–or the danger he’ll bring down on everyone he holds dear.

Newlyweds Drew and Madeline Farthering have arrived at Winteroak House, invited by Mr. and Mrs. Cummins to a lavish Regency themed house party, where reuniting with life long acquaintances brings great pleasure, until the lovely Alice Henley is found dead from a suspected drug overdose. It appears that Drew does not know his friends as well as he once thought, and upon his college mate's request, hesitantly agrees to sleuth alongside a slew of law enforcement agencies to determine exactly what happened to his mate's fiance.
"The plot thickens", as another young innocent is brutally murdered, and while one crime appears to be solved, another incident unleashes a series of curious events. Drugs are being smuggled through-out England and Winteroak House appears to be at the very epicenter, but how?
Join Drew and Madeline, accompanied by best friends Carrie and Nick, as they put life and love on the line to solve another intriguing mystery.
